    Cool Can't log on to my router

    I bought a used, but in great working condition, Netgear RP 614 router from ebay. I need it to get my xbox online, but I can't get it to work right. My connection goes as follows: Phone line into sbc/dsl 2 wire modem - r45 cat 5e ethernet cable from modem to internet plug on the back of the router - one r45 to 10/100 card on this computer, one r45 to xbox. When it is hooked up like that I can't access the web, no explorer, can't even check email through outlook. The guy I bought it from said to hook it back up like that and open my IE and go to http://192.268.1.1 or 1.2, 1.3, and so on. I did that all the way to 1.15 over and over, but it never opened nor did a pop up come asking me to log on to the router like he said. I have given up on him for help and turned to you. I just want to play xbox live, my subscription is usless without a hook up. It works fine if I unplug the computer from the modem and run the xbox direct, but I would like both of them at the same time. What am I doing wrong other then buying used hardware from ebay with no paperwork or software to go with it? Please help if you can.

    Normally the IP address is 192.168.1.1 NOT 192.268.1.1
    It could be that someone has changed the routers IP address. Check the router out to see if there is a reset button. If there is a reset button you might need to have the firmware for that router ready to install. I would suggest that you go to the web site for your router and check to see if you can download the firmware.
    Hope this helps.

    Something similar happened when trying to set up my belkin router, dont know if this is any help but this is what I had to do..
    control panel>network connections>right click LAN connection>properties>Internet Protocol>Properties>get it to obtain the IP and DNS automatically then try typing the 192... into the browser without the http://
